In this case, a bill was tiled by Alexander Robson, and Eliza, his wife, against the defendants, as trustees of a certain settlement executed upon the marriage of Edward Gibbon Wakefield with Miss Pattie, the daughter of Mrs. Robson, for the settlement of ac count upon an annuity of 2,000/. per year, to which Mrs. Robson was entitled under the settlement alluded to. Mr. Homax (with whom was Mr. anamm)ersred for the plaintiffs. Ile stated, that charlea Pattle diet ientilla; and left a clear legacy of 40,0001. to his widow, now Mrs. Robson, and the sum of 30,000/ to his infant daughter, afterwards Mrs. Wake. field. In 1817, Mr. E. Wakefield married Miss Pattle, who was then only l 7 years of age and with the most liberal views Mrs. Pattie (now Mrs. Robson) agreed to give up her claim tinder her husband's will for an annuity of 2,000/. per annum, chargeable not upon the legacy of 40,000/. left to the widow, but upon the aggregate sum of 70,0001., being the whole sum left under Mr. Pattle's will. Thii oettlement . was - drily executed, and a clause inserted into it, by which It was' allowed, if desirable, to convert the prophty into land. Under this settlement, the first duty of the trustees was to see whether the property wail in money or land,• that the annuity of 2,0001. per annum should be paid to Mrs. Pattle. Mrs. Pattle continued a widow until 1821, when she married with Major Robson, and by this marriage her right to the annuity was in no degree affected. Unless it was proved that the settlement was a fraudulent one, Mrs. Robson's claim could not be resisted. Mr.. Wakefield (with Whom was Messrs. Strom; and Iha Lb) submitted that it was not alleged that the settlement was fraudulent. Mr. Hoene continued—Mrs. Robson was entitled to an an nuity of 2,0001. a year under the deed, and what she now re quired was a settlement of her account with the trustees under the deed. It appeared that the only one of the trustees who took no active concern in the trust was Mr. Edward Wakefield, the father of Mr. E. Gibbon Wakefield. Mrs. Robson was evidently warmly attached to her daughter, and it seemed that she showed this attachment to her son-in4aw (Mr. E. Wakefield), and all his family, as long an her feelings allowed her to continue an intimacy with them. During the continuance of this intimacy Mrs. Rob son was a constant visitor iu Mr. E. Wakefield's house; and, as appeared by the answer which was put in, by Mr. E. Wakefield's advice shoook a house in New Palace-yard, which was to be not only her own house, but a house for the convenience of the whole family. By that answer, else, it would seem that in Mr. Wake field's opinion the annuity was to be likewise applied for the gene ral use of the Wakefields. However, upon the death' of her daughter (Mrs. Gibbon Wakefield) Mrs. Pattle, who was not then married to Major ',:obson, removed to Mr. Edward Wakefield's house. Now some pecuniary transactions occurred between Mr. Edward Wakefield and Mrs. Pattle; but he contended that there never was any settlement of an account under the deed of set- tlement. Mr. Edward Wakefield stated, that he kept books of his transactions with Mrs. Pattle, and that those books Were open to Mrs. Pattle; but this did not amount to a settleMent of an account. There were four trusteoi to the settlement. Mr. Edward Wakefield was the only ous of the trustees who acted no formal settlement of account was made by him with this unprotected lady for several years ; and yet he now resisted the proposal to open the account. If the dealing was fair and honest in every particular, what possible objection could Mr. Edward Wakefield have to open the account, and enter upon a regular *et; tienment ? This opposition was itself AU evidence that tie knew the full amount of the annuity was not paid. But the evidence was not confined to this circumstance: Mr. Edward Waketield himself distinctly admitted, that in the account which he kept with this lady, he had improperly charged her with a mu of 906/. Mr. WAIIMISLO begged to set his Honour right on this point, by reading a part of Mr. Wakefield's answer. Mr. nom submitted that this interruption was unprecedent ed. He knew, if he was overcharging his case, that suck a course would recoil on himself and on his client, but he protested against unnecessary interruptions. He was about to argue, he said, that if the account was admitted to have been stated and formally set tled, and that one of the parties to the settlement subsequently ac knowledged there was an error in the account, it was sufficient ground for the interference of the Court to direct that the whole account should again be opened and settled ; but how much snore strongly did this position apply, when Mr. Edward Wakefield him self stated that he was the only actiug trustee under the marriage settlement of his son, and that no account of the annuity pay able under that settlement had ever been taken with a professional person, or with any other person but with this lady, who was in competent to settle such an account, and who, it appeared, hail never entered into any regular settlement, fur no vouchers of hers were now forthcoming. Mr. Edward Wakefield did not state that the vouchers were destroyed by accident; he did not take upon himself,to say that any vouchers had ever been given by Mrs. Robson, and it was therefore most important that the itecomits should be opened, and a settlement regularly made. The Loomed Counsel was here about to enter into another part of the case, re lative to the conversion of the money into lauded property, when he was interrupted by • Mr. Sugden, who proposed that, as it was the hour at which it was usual for the Court to rise, the case should stead over until the next sitting. Ilia HONOUR inquired if Mr. Horn; could shortly conclude? Mr. Hottfot—Your Honour perceives that the case is one of great importance, and it is only fair to state that 1 hays a good deal more to say. His HoNou It—Then we had better rise, and resume the argu ment at the sitting of the Court to-morrow evening. The Court then adjourned. Mr. Shadwell is to be heard on the same side, and .Messrs. Heald, Sugden, and Wakefield, for the defendants.

IRREGULAR TRANSMISSION OF NEWS PAPERS. MR. EDITOR---'-As a NeWspaper Agent I am particu ' larly glad to see you notice the irregularities which take place in the transmission of papers through the Post offices. I think a subject like this, wherein the public are so particularly i n t eres ted, should be fully canvassed; and from the number of papers I send off daily (about 100), I am enabled to speak from experience, as I pay the td most attention to send them to the Post-office, indeed I pack them myself, and yet experience complaints, which is particularly annoying to a man in business when he knows the fault does not rest with him • indeed one gentleman wrote to say, he had " not received his paper (The Times) for three successive days," and yet I could swear that I packed them, and the boy that he delivered them at the Post-office, in Lombard-street ! As the letter addressed to you, in your paper of this evening, very properly no tices, " every Newspaper Proprietor is interested in this;" end 1 bops to s e e them take up the subject to get such vexatious irregularities corrected, and thus relieve the Airnts from undeserved blame, their country readers from being disappointed of their budget of news, and their own interests, in a manner, from suffering by it. I take two Dublin papers in, the Evening Afail and Evening Post, to supply my Reading-room with, and one. Scotch paper. I have been frequently disappointed in the regular receipt of them, and have put the Editors to no little expence for the postage of complaining letters, yet, after all, the fault does not rest with them ; and every one can feel for the disappointment of those gentlemen who come to my Room to learn the news of their native co u ntry, and find no paper arrived.

VIEWS OF THE COURT OF AVA: RESPECTING THE LATE WAR. • The following article, quoted from the Calcutta Govern ment Gazette of the bth June, tends to show . that such were the views of the Court of AVAIL, and such the opinions .generally prevalent in the country of our inability to cope with the Jiurinatt armies, that a war was inevitable. 'We. he tea tm e llei s l u t s ofta i t n h e e d ir a prisoners defeat and is e by th have not copied th e w h o l e of the article, b ut the portion we have quoted begins front the , affair at Remo°, (where, inters i most twill s ung. T b. erecollected, r w Bur mans appears to have been inv ar i a bl y un f e e l i ng and brutal. The result of the affair of %moo served, of course, only to confirm the Court of Ava, is the iMpreations . whicii they Is ad so long eutertained, and these were not In rise least impaired by otly occupation of Rangoon. They toissidered it sopa mere maraudiog incursion, and was equally surprised and delighted. When they found, that instead of plunsleriug and destroylog the town, and then re •embarking, the British forces remained—tlatituglish, it was asserted, had fallen into a snare laid by theruselves...-they were caught in a net, which their own hands had wove: sn i t sic crity to move svgainat them, and the only apprehension edruis te d, was, that they would discover their mistake, and decamp before% the Burman troopacould reach Rangoon. The King hinisa/1 reported to have said, that he hoped the Kolas would not run away, before the arrival of his army, as their fire arms Would ha of great service towards the conquest of Siam—whets the Bandula was at Dinsabew, on his way to join the army, he gay: ' out, that in eight days he would take his dinner' in the public hall, at Rats• goon, and afterwards returned thanks at the Shoodegon Pagoda. The protracted operations before Rangoon, were Insufficient to open the eyes of the Goverzunent, and the delay was ascribed to the dilatory measures of the Ki •woongee—he was, accordingly, displarssl, and Thongba-Woungev, o brave but rash officer, sent to supersede Liar: the attack upon the Stockade in whicls he cam mended, by a small body of Europeans, under COlotiel Maereagb. sod Major Sale—the capture tithe Stockade, and the flight, and death of the Chief, first led the C4'ssirt to suspect, they had uuder rated the prowess of their opponents—the nest cireumstatace that tended to effect arevolution su their sentiuttnte, was the defeat of Bandula, in, his lines before Rangoon; and 'hie flight:-4 general panic now took place at Court, and it was expected, that the .Euro peans Would immediately be at Ava--the cheek we. sus tained at Donahew, allayed the alarm, in • seine degree, hut the Burmese no 'oilier felt, sanguine of tosses, soul con• fideuee gave .place to anxiety and apprehension. In all their subsequent operations, the Coverowont, and the King espe cially, anticipated &Uwe, and they would gladly have negotiated, had they comprehended the nature of such a termination of lanai litiee—but it never occurred to them, that the victorious party would rest satisfied with less' than the Ithschate subjugation of the country, and they were exceedingly at a loss to elloereanui the preposal to heat, which was made by Sir A. Campbell, from Prome. The only certain conclusion was, that, if not a trick, it was an act of necessity, imposed by the sickness of the troops, by disturbances its Upper Hindustan, or by the King of England's disapproving of the war ; the prevailing opinion, however, was, that the King of Coehin-China had sent a fleet of 50 ships to t h e aid of Burma, and a boat was actually despatched from Ave, to corn:muds:ate with the Admiral. The continued advance of the British forces filled the Court with despair, and they anticipated, as an inevitable result, the entire occupation of the conntry—the policy as well as moral beauty of public faith, are unknown in the Burman sods, and their reluctance to aci.ede to our terms, chiefly arose from their conviction, that we had to intention of adhering to them ourselves —the instance of•the regard for verbal pledge, which occurred in the case of Dr. Sauford's return, held out some encouragement, but the payment of the stipulated contribution Was a desperate experiment, and the majority of the Court were positive that the Euglish would take the money sod still march on to time capi tal. The restoration of the six Lacs, by Sir A. Campbell, wait a circumstauce that subverted all their ideas of policy, sod our strict adherence to the stipulations of the treaty, a matter of us much surprise as delight. That the war had heroine unpopular with the nation at large, used excite but little wonder : the Dormer* sank from one ea. treme to the other, and from holding the British in contempt, citify afraid to encounter them. Towards the elm of the cameo no soldier* were to be protiatted, except from the lowest vagabonds of the capital, who having received the bounty, 100 to 100 tikals, expended it in *inert clothes, genie, and opium hut when led into the field, took to their heels the moment the Europeans ad vanced against them. Although unusual for the Court of Atli to give any public intimation at all of its purposes, a royal *diet was published on several occasions at Ave announcing the King's in tention of taking the field against the Hebei Strangers, at the Lead of 1 00,000 tioriwinv, end the same number of Shan.. There 'was en doubt, that the King never entertained any stair design, sod the object or the proclamation was to encourage the labia* and people to offer their services tOr the wer. Various reports were circulated in Cal en tt o , regar d to o w treatmeot of their prisoners by the Burman*, end it was 4'064' uncertain, whether they were the 'objects erf inhumanity or i mz dulgence. We are now able to Weer ttp this point, and hare ascertained, dist, although the King and the principal Utlicere of the Court were disposed to have the prisoners' ironed leniently, yet a few Chief! exhibited toward, them great bar barity, and the underlings were invariably unfeeling and brutal—their venality was the only counterpoise to their frrdvity, and the , payment of a few tikals was of some efficacy iu relaxing their rigour. When first confined, the phoutore were put in a sort of stocks, and shut up..in is close prison t they were not allowed a mat to sleep on, zinc any intercourse with their friend' or each other, end they were obliged to pay for per mission to their servants to bring them food; for the first nine mouths they were secured with three pair of irons Otl, and for the last two months with five—they were nut allowed food or cloth ing by the Government—thew article. being always supplied by the friends of the prisoners, and if destitute of friends they were suffered to starve : an exception in this case was made in favour of the Native Officers taken in action, and they were allowed a basket of rice a MOOdt by order of the King, but they never received half, and that so irregularly,, that they were often without food for several days . together, and the. alternate extreme of inanition and repletion brought on cora, plaints of which all but one died. The Sepoy prisonws, are said to have displayed throughout, the molt Inishakeu tachtuent to their own Government, anti to all the interrogatories put to them, to have replied with a Annum and spirit, that equally' baffled and incensed the Burmau authorities. Shortly before the close of the war, the Sepoys were sent to Wuxi, a place in the cot eitry of the Shane, about VOtrinilea from Ma, lett they *hold timid means of liberating themselves upon the rulvanee of the British Army. The English and American prisoners also were removed previous to the action at Pagliam-mew, to A.ang-ben-le, Iti matte from Ava, for the purpose, it was reported, of being ng th p e ut ti t o o l j d . c.th ilai tta e, before the liakan a e tCi r r i ol l i tet uergfe i o% Jo asit hire,awecoarn:s doubtful, if hr really fi i idered the reek *t : :t a te::r a r's s at4b t ti l i eit the (luitoirrtLl,ia'w'nud al ich ~b l lee respect t w iil o i u t a l o d p atone r i w av n e s o l f hifteinuie).well pleased to r Jli~e career, ih7:elveme:etteiyel'wis.sers4st:kilieo't7wnainttli after being about a month or six weeks in power, he fell itirm d d ra isg tl i r at''anw"houcir'fsignelotlit7e,itlb'etimng";jrnodal:lieenpauttrancddteicr:fou:htai rn.til:ywatilsteroplipPertiwtasr.
